The Genesis of Tragedy and the Sacred Drama of Eleusis is a book written by Edouard Schure that explores the origins of tragedy in ancient Greece and the role of the Eleusinian Mysteries in the development of the genre. Schure delves into the history and mythology of the Eleusinian Mysteries, a secretive and sacred festival held in honor of the goddess Demeter and her daughter Persephone. He argues that the Mysteries were a crucial influence on the development of Greek tragedy, providing a framework for the exploration of themes such as death, rebirth, and the human condition. Schure also examines the works of key Greek tragedians such as Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, exploring the ways in which they were influenced by the Mysteries and how they incorporated their themes into their plays. This book provides a fascinating insight into the origins of one of the most enduring forms of drama in Western culture and the role that ancient religious practices played in its development.1936.
